OverviewDispatchesPoliciesPeopleGovernmentEconomyRankTrendCards

The Supreme Empire of Darranda is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Hal V with an iron fist, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, parental licensing program, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 11.648 billion Darrandans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Veredon. The average income tax rate is 84.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Darrandan economy, worth a remarkable 2,973 trillion Rrydgas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 255,259 Rrydgas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

New regulations have put a halt to monkey business, preservative-laden Darrandan cheeses will be as edible when archaeologists dig them up next millennium, highway rest stops are stocking up on fallout scrubbing kits, and orthopaedics patients often have a bounce in their step. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Darranda's national animal is the Royal Cat Yellow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Darranda is ranked 10,087th in the world and 80th in Europe for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 7,122.84 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
